Holder for a beverage container

Abstract

A holder for two beverage containers is provided for installation in a motor vehicle. The holder has a pull-out element having insertion openings for the beverage containers. The pull-out element is guided not only displaceably but also is mounted pivotally, so that, as desired, one insertion opening instead of both insertion openings is accessible and available for use.

1. A holder for a beverage container, comprising:
 a single pull-out element having two insertion openings for beverage containers and guided to be displaceable back and forth between a pushed-in normal position and a pulled-out in-use position, so that two insertion openings are accessible in said pulled-out in-use position for installation of beverage containers, and wherein said pull-out element is pivotal inside a dashboard or a central console of a vehicle in opposite directions about a rotational vertical axis so that either one of said two insertion openings is selectively accessible. 
 
   
   
     2. A holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said pulled-out element has side faces which are convexly rounded. 
   
   
     3. A holder as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said side faces have a radius of curvature which substantially corresponds to a width of said pulled-out element. 
   
   
     4. A holder for a beverage container, comprising:
 a single pull-out element having two insertion openings for beverage containers and guided to be displaceable back and forth between a pushed-in normal position and a pulled-out in-use position, so that two insertion openings are accessible in said pulled-out in-use position for installation of beverage containers, and wherein said pull-out element is pivotal inside a dashboard or a central console of a vehicle in opposite directions about a rotational vertical axis so that either one of said two insertion openings is selectively accessible, 
 wherein said pulled-out element has side faces which are convexly rounded, 
 wherein said side faces have a radius of curvature which substantially corresponds to a width of said pulled-out element, and 
 wherein said pull-out element is at its widest on its front side. 
 
   
   
     5. A holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said pull-out element has a side support for said insertion opening, which moves upwards when said pull-out element is being pulled out and provides lateral support for a beverage container inserted into said insertion opening. 
   
   
     6. A holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said pull-out element has a support foot which moves downwards when said pull-out element is being pulled out and onto which a beverage container is placeable through said insertion opening. 
   
   
     7. A holder for a beverage container, comprising:
 a single pull-out element having two insertion openings for beverage containers and guided to be displaceable back and forth between a pushed-in normal position and a pulled-out in-use position, so that two insertion openings are accessible in said pulled-out in-use position for installation of beverage containers, and wherein said pull-out element is pivotal inside a dashboard or a central console of a vehicle in opposite directions about a rotational vertical axis so that either one of said two insertion openings is selectively accessible, 
 wherein said pulled-out element has side faces which are convexly rounded, and 
 wherein said pull-out element is at its widest on its front side.
